but is it still ok for me to install cdrecord normally (not superuser id'd) and allow priveledged users the ownership of the relevant /dev/sg devices?
i thought that was the safest option ... then anyone can run cdrecord, but they get a priveledges error if they do anythign they arnt suppossed... to like save an iso in the wrong place, scan the scsi bus or burn/erase a cd. the only problem i have with this setup is that these priveledged users get the sceduling wanrning... but is is just a warning, ive had no cd buring problems at all, and i am of the philosophy that when you are writing a cd, you shoudl go away from teh computer and make a cup of tea (or coffee), or have a pint, so there is nothign running in the background aiding a buffer problem anyway. cheers anyway, ill just settle for my setup as it is... i certainly dont want to hand out sceduling priority to normal users! and i am intent on never installing anything suid or sqid Sam, Ireland _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
